Confession of an Intern

My name is Hillary. I am the Marketing Intern for the museum this summer and I have a confession. Before I came to the museum for my internship, I had not actually visited the different exhibits since elementary school. Because I lived about half of my college career looking through a camera lens as a photography minor, I was excited to explore and reexamine my hometown museum using my camera. These few photos were taken using a longer exposure time, allowing for brighter and crisper pictures in the darker exhibits without having to use a flash. Once I found a few images I liked, I used Photoshop to make some of the colors within the image brighter and more saturated. If you visit the museum this summer and you see a young woman awkwardly holding a 5-foot tripod in one of the exhibits, be sure to tell me “hello!”
